EPA Scientist Testifies Animal Studies Point To Fluoride Risks
Law360, San Francisco (June 10, 2020, 9:36 PM EDT) — Groups seeking to ban drinking-water fluoridation across America called a series of witnesses at a bench trial Wednesday to testify to its damaging effects, including a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency scientist who said that animal studies support the conclusion that fluoride has a damaging effect on infant brain development. Dr. Kris […]
Controversy: The Evolving Science of Fluoride: When New Evidence Doesn’t Conform With Existing Beliefs
Over the past 75 years, health authorities have declared that community water fluoridation -a practice that reaches over 400 million worldwide -is safe. Yet, studies conducted in North America examining the safety of fluoride exposure in pregnancy were nonexistent. When a Canadian study reported that higher fluoride exposure in pregnant women was associated with lower […]

Delta Dental: How healthy teeth are linked to rocks
Note from Fluoride Action Network: Note that Delta Dental does not mention that fluoride is an endocrine disruptor (2nd paragraph, page 266, NRC 2006 report) or neurotoxic. See studies by Grandjean 2019, Green et al. 2019, Riddell et al. 2019, Till et al. 2019, the Mother-Offspring studies, and the 64 IQ studies. (EC) How healthy […]
Fluoride’s Harm to the Developing Brain: Recent Science
This summary is a must-have document for communities fighting fluoridation. We have two special FAN bulletins this weekend that will focus on our Science Director’s summary of all the important findings from the past three years that indicate that fluoride can impact the brain in various ways – at the exposure levels experienced in fluoridated […]
Long Islanders Wisely Rejected Fluoridation
Gov’t Never Studied Brain Effects Before Assuring Fluoridation Safety Because of smart informed activists, no Long Island water supplier adds unnecessary fluoride chemicals into the public drinking water attempting to prevent tooth decay in tap water drinkers. But New York City does. And legislators might start tapping into NYC’s fluoridated water soon to remedy LI’s […]
Fluoride’s Brain Research is Alarming and Growing
NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Water fluoridation is linked to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (Environment International December 2019), adding to the growing pile of scientific literature linking fluoride to neurological disorders e.g. lower IQ, Autism, poor memory, dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease. Governments failed to determine fluoride’s toxic brain effects before declaring fluoridation safe in the early 1900’s, reports the […]
Fluoridated Water May Soon Be Outlawed
Story at-a-glance In 2016, the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) and coalition partners filed a petition asking the EPA to ban water fluoridation in U.S. drinking water under Section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Under the TSCA, the EPA evaluates risks from new and existing chemicals and is supposed to act to address […]
Guidelines on the use of fluoride for caries prevention in children: an updated EAPD policy document.
Note from Fluoride Action Network This policy document by Toumba et al., published October 20, 2019, is unacceptably outdated in its determination of “the impact of fluoridated water on human health.” It used only 4 reviews, three of which are from demonstrably pro-fluoridation groups (EU SCHER 2011; New Zealand Royal Society & the Prime Minister’s […]
